Abstract
A stretch hull design comprises of a stern float and a bow float joined longitudinally to each other at some distance apart by a beam making an otherwise short floats a long correspondingly stable hull. Having a little mass toward the middle in the form of a beam, the hull is relatively cheaper to build per lineal unit of length and less subjected to the effect of the waves contributing to a better ride quality and reduces structural stress. It provides a large potential space limited only by the displacement of the floats and the length of the beam. The beam also acts as ballast, keel or centerboard preventing the craft from capsizing and facilitates the mounting of parts in enhancing the performance of the craft.
Claims11
A watercraft's hull design consisting basically of a stern float and a bow float joined longitudinally to each other preferably at some distance apart by at least one elongated and laterally narrow structure preferably in the form of a beam or beam assembly.
A stretch hull design consisting basically of a stem float and a bow float joined longitudinally to each other preferably at some distance apart by a beam and/or a platform.
A beam assembly as shown particularly in FIGS. 12 and 13.
